First time staying here and we had an absolute ball. The room was clean and the bathroom spotless and also very big. Was nice to be served breakfast instead of self service and it was excellent (full english and portions huge), Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Entertainment was great both nights - especially dancing Elvis was a bonus!!... More

Just returned from a night stay at this hotel, we stayed in room 23 which was in dire need of a makeover, it smelt very musty and the bathroom was disgusting, I dont think they know what bleach is for. The shower was that bad web couldn't bare to use it. Breakfast was ok but didn't offer further coffee or... More

This was our third stay at the Stags Head and again everything was very good. Staff were friendly and helpful, the bedroom was spotlessly clean and well presented, the bed was very comfortable with pristine bed linen. Comprehensive breakfast choice, the best scrambled eggs I have tasted! Had two other meals during our stay that were also excellent. The Stags... More

For the third year running, six of us from around the country met at the Stags Head for our annual weekend reunion. The website is very clear - it is a party venue at weekends, so if you are looking for peace and quiet stay elsewhere, but if you want fun and a great time in a safe environment without... More

We stayed here for 2 nights whilst visiting friends and found it to be a great base to explore the surrounding lakes and hills. Although not quite up to our usual standards the staff were freindly, the room was clean and the bar food was good. A little noisy but we were so tired after all the walking we still... More

Agreed over the phone 2 weeks previously to cancel 1 of the nights in a single room, staff said they would sort it out on their system, THEY DIDN'T! Took my money for a room that I had cancelled well in advance. "they couldn't do anything about it", when I realised I was charged for a room I wasn't using.... More

We just stayed for just the one night at the Stag's Head, I'd had a voucher for my birthday last year, and as all our previous visits to Bowness (and there have been many) had been in the caravan or camper van, we had no previous experience of hotels in or around the area. We were more than pleased with... More

From the arrival we were greeted by the cheery bar manager, whom told us we were ok to park the car outside the front door in order for us to take our bags to the room (allowed 15min wait). Upon inspecting our very spacious and very nice en-suite room, we again went to see the bar manager/hotel manager who told... More

We stayed at the Stags Head about 6 months ago and the location was so perfect that we booked to stay again. The room we were allocated this time looks like it has been recently refurbished with tasteful decor and a modern bathroom. The breakfast was plentiful setting us up for a day exploring what the area has to offer.... More
